• Evening all. I’m looking for a new charcoal barbecue. Preferably table top so it doesn’t take up too much space when it’s in storage but also big enough to cook for a family.

    I’m not sure if I’d get into the whole 12 hour cooking of stuff but it would be good if it was an option.

    Any recommendations would be helpful.

    What I'm hearing is:

    1. you need a decent sized traditional bbq
    2. For the non-bbq months it needs to be stored


    Personally, I'd get a Weber and take the legs off to pack away. You don't need to deconstruct the whole thing just disassemble into manageable bits. It's like 3 legs and the kettle.

    When we moved abroad I packed our our cheapo gas BBQ quickly and easily. Then reassembled equally easily. Obviously it would be a faff every day, but a couple of times a year is no effort.

    A table top is worth the compromises for travel, or if you absolutely cannot house something the size of the smallest kettle.

    If that's the case I'd also look at one of those multipurpose fire pits. That way you can leave the main part outside all year round and just pack away the grill sections.

  • We’ve got a fire pit already sadly but with no attachments.

    We also used to have a Weber kettle. Lent to my mother in law when we went over to gas. Since realising gas is no way to cook went to get the Weber back and it had corroded where the legs joined the base of the kettle.

    It’s a little too pricey to get another kettle so the table top is my logical choice.
